We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Spindle Motor",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Large horizontal machining centres come to UK from
Matsuura Machinery, which we summarised at the time by saying "Two large horizontal twin pallet machining centres feature 'Box in Box' structural design for robust, high speed machining excellence, reliability and cost effectiveness".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Vertical machining centres offer wide choice from
Colchester-Harrison: "Vertical machining centres are in a rang covering from a simple, low-cost, high rigidity general purpose machine, to a high specification type with 15,000 rev/min spindle and 48m/min rapid traverse".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Yamazaki Mazak UK
concerning its Mazak Quick Turn Nexus 200-II MS
- take a look at CNC mill-turn centre meets aviation needs
which says: "Aerospace subcontractor, Portsmouth Aviation was asked to produce components for next-generation defence programmes and an automated CNC multi-tasking mill-turn centre was acquired to do this".
Take a look also at the news release from Ward CNC Machinery, Mill-turn centre machines complex components,
as well as Large display has 22 CNC machine tools from Yamazaki Mazak UK,
and HMCs have larger machining platform from Yamazaki Mazak UK.
